How to set a keyboard shortcut that is sent to Ubuntu rather than active remote desktop?

I have three workspaces: WS1, WS2 and WS3.

In WS1, I have an active remote desktop session to a windows
computer, started with "rdesktop ".

In WS2, I have some bash terminals

In WS3, I have some text editors

What I want to do is this: switch to and from WS1 with a keyboard shortcut.

The problem I have is this: when in WS1 with an active rdesktop session, keyboard shortcuts are sent to the remote desktop rather than Ubuntu, so the workspaces are not switched.

Is it possible to set some keyboard shortcuts that get sent to Ubuntu rather than rdesktop?

Edit 1: rdesktop -K does not seem to work after the rdesktop session is interacted with.

I figured out a way. Instead of using rdesktop, I instead use a program called "remmina". This program performs the same task of remote desktop, but still allows workspace switching.
